I was not looking forward in any way to dress shopping, until my MOH made me go. I am a size 20 formaly a 22, and i just knew it would look like I was wearing a big sheet. It sooo did not. The dresses that are in David's Bridal & Alfred Angelo are amazing. They are very, very flatering. Some of them even looked better on a plus sized figure than the models in the magazine. So I hope this makes you look forward to dress shopping. I hate dresses & shopping, but I loved shopping for my bridal gown. Just wanted to share...
